Post subject: Is there a good place to store my text files online?

I lost my flash drive(along with my keys) a while ago, and I don't really feel like carrying one around anymore. All I ever used it for in the first place was carrying around my programming projects around so I could work on them at school anyway, so I was just wondering if there was a place I could upload my files to online where I could easily download/reupload my files instead of carrying them around manually. Figured you guys would know if there was. I know I could use megaupload to do what I wanted, but I was hoping for something that would be less of a hassle.

There are lots of free source control servers out there, but most require you to open source your code. There are also some services out there that will mount locally as a hard drive, or will do automatic syncs with folders that you can use.

The best option though is to host it off your own machine. Since you mentioned source code, could you setup a source control server on your machine, like Subversion? Then you'd get into the habit of source control, have access from anywhere, and dealing with coding conflicts.

If you use the same different computers regularly, there's a service called Dropbox that would be good for you.

If not, Gmail draft attachments are a good thumb drive substitute.

Um... I messed with subversion before, I remember it being complex, and I also remember having to install something. I was really just looking for something like pastebin, wxcept where I could create an account, and edit my code rather than just creating a new version to paste again. I realize I need to learn how to use something like subversion anyway, or some other source control, but it seems like overkill.

I'll definitely check out the google documents, though. And I hadn't even thought about gmail drafts.
